Fogs not working =[

[ptran4o9]

I bought new set HID for the fogs cause i thought my ballast was bad...

While rechecking all the wires found that my power from switch to fogs wires were messed up so re ran all the wires and now still no power to fogs but switch has power from parking light power source.

I'm thinking it the relay or fuse but it got too late and mosquitoes were killin me outside in garage

Need help any advice?

sounds like relay. do you hear a click when you try to turn on the fogs? check grounds, sand paper around it if its not making metal contact. check relay to switch. is it a stock switch with civic fogs? check wiring behind switch. power should be direct to fuse box under the hood. any corrosion or rust on the relay? clean terminals. other than that its pretty much a close circuit unless you have it wired into your headlights/parking lights.

Parking Light [Power Source] to Relay
Relay to Switch [Power On]
Switch to Fogs [No Power]

I'll try the ground thing tomorrow i regrounded but forgot to sand area down

DDM Tuning: Description

What is the difference between 55w and 35w kits?
Our 55w HID kits are 40% brighter than the standard 35w kits.
The 55W system ballasts are about 1 cm longer than the 35W ballasts.
55w kits tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light output( for example, a 55w 8000k will look similar in color to a 35w 6000k kit).
Our 55w HID Kit is not recommended for smaller fog light housings because they tend to concentrate a large amount of heat in a small area.

probably whats happening here.

just went to huntington beach yesterday to pick up another set of 3k bulbs from ddm tuning. i guess they changed distributors cuz my old bulbs from there look like a brighter yellow than the new pair i got

old ddm slim ballast 35w 3k

new ddm slim ballast 35w 3k
